That's a good idea here, I think I'm going to steal it.
Though going digital only would probably be more profitable at first, paperback editions could be sold as set of 5-6 volumes for 40-50 bucks later on.

So, basically, they are called "Cowling" because they have some limiters and restrictions to control their output, but it is possible to make such weapons without any limiters, which Kashima did?

In the far, far future, humanity had reached a level of technological progress high enough to be comparable to godhood and left Earth for space. However, as numerous and grave conflicts arose, they were forced to return to Earth, having lost much of the technology they once possessed. They also found themselves constricted to the Japanese islands, as all other land had been rendered uninhabitable. In order to regain the lost technology, and to ensure stability in the remaining population, they started reenacting the events detailed in the Testament, a kind of all-encompassing history book. Everything proceeded smoothly until the Middle Ages, when the pocket dimension housing the recreation of world history events collapsed onto the real world, where events in Japanese history were reenacted. The resulting war ended with the reenactors of Japanese history being defeated and forced into a handful of territories. The story starts shortly after the Testament has suddenly stopped producing updates and rumors of an impending apocalypse starts to spread. As the city-ship Musashi, one of the few places where the former recreators of Japanese history are allowed some degrees of sovereignity, makes a stop at Mikawa, another of the Japanese territories, a plan is set in motion to avert this apocalypse. The centerpieces in this plan is the chancellor and student council president of the Musashi Ariadust academy, Toori Aoi, and the other is P-01s, the mysterious automated doll he's planning to confess to.

Well, in the War of the Gods, they fucked the universe so hard that they destroyed the heaven, hell and even fate itself. So the human race was just fucked. That was proven further as once they got back to Earth, they almost destroyed each other halving human population in just two weeks.

Using the remaining knowledge they had, they used the leyline that shaped fate and linked it to the human history records, creating the Testament. That way. humanity can reach again its previous state. Also, as they have turned history itself into cards of negotation, they can avoid humanity fucking itself.

That until the Testament stops updating and the Apocalypse draws near.

Thanks.
I read somewhere that the part of the whole story that goes after Horizon is about the world's destroy and rebuild.
That means that Toori & Horizon will fail at collecting the weapons or what?

The testament is a walkthrough to history, an ancient machine linked to fate and the leylines themselves. It chronicles the history of humanity and is, never allowing anyone to peer more than 100 years ahead at a time. It's followed as an effort to regain lost technology and to ensure stability in the limited population. Testament recreation is generally handled by the Testament union and actively reenacted by people who have competed their whole lives for their roles.

Nobody knows, but given what we know about the Genesis Plan and the thing that js06 translated about the eras, it will probably end with the whole getting destroyed and reshaped until it gets to an ideal state.

>>101581780
Yeah, I've heard the OBSTACLE WORLD is constantly being destroyed and rebuilt, but the fact that it is being rebuilt may be a sign that they succeeded. Of course, there's no way of knowing this since Horizon hasn't ended yet. For all we know Horizon might even end before the GENESIS era does.

Because the environmental gods resided under the Japanese archipelago as it was the best place to influence the world leylines (as seen in Owari no Chronicle), so the first place they restored was the japanese islands. Then they went berserk and the rest of the world was over-restored to the point of making it uninhabitable.

>>101581857>uhhh why was the japanese islands kept pristine
Something something Leylines something something environmental gods.

And putting all the people left on earth on ether sailing ships would probably be even more bothersome than just settling down in Japan.

Because the Divine States-World Interaction Theory in Owari no Chronicle. Basically, Japan stands by chance in a place linked to most of the world leylines. That's why the Harmonic Divine States in Horizon could work as a miniature world.

I would love to see the raws of the other stories at least, to see what happens and stuff, mainly in FORTH (to see how it all began) and in CITY (how it all ended).
Also, when the author finished CITY?

>>101583633>mfw I just noticed that link and all it has in it.
Oh well, thanks for answering so nicely to this retard...
I should entertain myself lurking in that mediafire for a while, There is so much stuff there I'm overwhelmed.
